Nice budget over-the-range microwave
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave has met my expectations so far after about a month of use. Installation was about moderate difficulty - for my application, I had to change the fan orientation, which was not terribly difficult. Installing the bracket to hang the microwave was easy, but the template for where to cut holes in the cabinet above was downright frustrating. I would recommend simply measuring reference distances and marking where to cut and drill. I wasted about 45 minutes here that could have been saved. During my installation, I had a bolt that was not threaded correctly and would not seat into the microwave from the cabinet above. A quick call to GE had a kind service representative sending a replacement my way. The part arrived within a week. Overall, the install took about 3 hours. The microwave itself works great now that it is installed. Noise during use is relatively low, the surface light is bright, and the cooking options are varied enough to be useful. Power is adequate, so food comes out hot without enormous cook times. My one real complaint is the exhaust fan. It just does not pull enough air from above the range. I also feel that vent intakes are too far to the back of the range to be at all effective for a pan that is steaming on a front burner. This seems to be a common issue for most newer microwaves, as I have seen the same thing at friends' houses as well. All in all, I am pleased with this microwave for the sale price that I paid.

Good microwave
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid performer. Not a high end machine but does what I need it to do. If your looking for sensor probe cooking, or all the bells and whistles, look elsewhere. I primarily use it to reheat, warm soups, cook popcorn occasionally, ect. Was average in degree of difficulty to self install. It run about a 1/16th inch narrower than some over the stove microwaves which made it perfect for my very tight 30 inch opening. Best buy was the best price.

Great microwave oven!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This microwave was easy to install and is perfect for our needs. We like its white color because it blends in with the cabinets and adjacent appliances. It's a time saver by quickly cooking or heating up foods and beverages when we're in a rush.

Huge Upgrade from My 2004 Model!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I finally replaced my old 2004 microwave with this GE Over-the-Range Microwave, and the difference is incredible! This one is fast, easy to use, and operates smoothly. The convenience cooking controls make reheating and cooking super simple, and everything heats up evenly. Installation was straightforward, and for the price, this is an excellent deal. It looks great in my kitchen and works perfectly.

Good value
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product was good - ease of operation, clarity of owner's manual, overall appearance. Some problem with the door - slightly out of alignment, which might be due to installer - me. Which leads me to the biggest problem - despite two attempts to arrange installation through Best Buy - on the website during purchase, and call to the store after purchase - I got no response. You lose installation fee Best Buy - which was quoted as $140.

Happy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very pleased with the microwave. It looks nice and functions as we hoped. Worth mentioning. If your cabinets are 15" deep, you must purchase the bump-out kit sold separately. We did not know, and had to wait additional time before we could install

I shoulda done this years ago!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I finally broke down and bought something that made an additional 2-3 square feet of counter top available for food preparation! As well as freeing up kitchen counter space this Microwave replaced the kitchen ventilator fan, now it really gets rid of kitchen odors rather than spreading them around! The GE over range micowave has been reliable, and easy to use, as well as being inexpensive.

Awesome and great value
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great basic microwave from a trusted name brand. My appliance professional and my handyman told me to get GE or Whirlpool appliances only. This microwave looks nice, works well, and was an incredible value. It doesn’t have a ton of bells and whistles but I didn’t need anything super fancy that I’d never use. I would go back and make this purchase again and again. Very happy especially for the price just over $200

Works great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the microwave it’s a newer model of one I had for many years. The only thing I don’t like is that it’s difficult to see the words on the control buttons because it’s a black screen. I wish they lit up
